So much lovely feedback for the immunotherapy podcasts! Agree they are so helpful. If you’ve not yet listened, they are on Spotify, Apple and lots of other media. Or just head to our website www.acutemedicine.org.uk/blog/learnin...

As president elect for @acutemedicine.bsky.social I am really keen to hear from as many acute physicians as possible to really hear opinions and experiences. Really enjoyed visiting SASH and Frimley today to see their great work in strengthening their AMU👏👏

What percentage of confused older people actually have a UTI? In the last few weeks I’ve seen appendicitis, triple A rupture, subdural and biliary sepsis all labelled as UTI. I’m so anti the diagnosis of UTI now I fear I may actually miss it!

The most common fear that medical students talk about is the risk of making a mistake or being sued. A great team at studentBMJ have put together a podcast on this. Honoured to be invited!

Med students frightened of being a dr as they hear so much ne gd as to both and resident drs choosing against medicine as they hear so much bad stuff about being a med spr. Well I LOVE my job. Let’s talk about the positives! @takeaim.bsky.social Help me out!

Really important to raise our concerns.
"The extra cases of winter viruses...mean many hospitals will fall into critical incidents and patient safety will be compromised – but not as a result of hard-working staff not putting patient safety first but because the hospitals simply cannot cope" @acutemed2.bsky.social @theguardian.com

I bore people senselessly with this but it’s important!!
- less can be more
- time is a great diagnostician tool
- just because we can doesn’t mean we should!

When we arrived in the UK I was aged 5. I had no English. The first few days of primary school were terrifying.

But I was lucky enough to find one kid who would play with me. Only one.

We've remained friends ever since.

He was my best man too.

That's the power of kindness

Had an amazing 2 days in Edinburgh at the RCPE St Andrews Symposium. Some great learning points and fabulous to meet new colleagues.

Exciting! @acutemedicine.bsky.social has joined! And a lot of my favourites moving here too 🥰

Heard from a few final medical students in various medical schools that they have been hearing nothing but dismissive things from consultants “get our whilst you can” etc. I love my job. Acute medicine is such a satisfying career. Yes there are difficult frustrations. But the job is brilliant.

Any suggestions of who to follow on here particularly for acute medicine - please let me know!

At the heart of this appalling new normal is a system where demand continues to exceed capacity. No hospital can ‘play ball’ whilst functioning at 100% capacity.
We are hurtling into months of chaos as this winter will be a new terrifying nadir.
